Not Quite Round

FA21 Core Design Studios I

Critics: Leslie Lok + David Costanza

Partner: Jada Cannon

This studio began with creating a building/construction system through finding and analyzing a specific abstraction of an animal. Our chosen animal was the anaconda with which we abstracted its movement through earth and water. From this, we were able to incorporate steam bending wood and joint connections that notated deformations in curves and served as moments of connection between the wooden dowels. Final product of this first phase in studio was the development of a sphere to demonstrate the abstraction and building system.
